Introduction
1
This Chapter provides details of the Video Server's features, components and capabilities.

Overview

The Video Server digitizes analog video signals and transmits digital images directly to your wired LAN or the Internet. The Video Server is a device that used to turn an analog video system into high performance IP-based solutions. The Video Server comes with the RS-485 interface, which can be used for external PTZ devices. It also supports two-way audio and digital I/O for external sensors and alarms. Up to 10 authorized viewers f rom different locations can view the H.264, MPEG-4 and M-JPEG streams simultaneously.
H.264 uses the new innovations in video compression technology to provide excellent video quality from the low video data. Bit rate can be saved up more with nearly lossless coding while using H.264. The intent of the H.264 project was to create a standard capable of providing good video quality at lower bit rates than previous standards, without in creasing the complexity of design which would be impractical or expensive to implement.
A convenient and user-friendly Windows program is provided for both viewing and recording video. If necessary, you can even view video using your Web Browser, on a variety of software platforms.
Features
• Triple Stream Live Video to Multiple Users. The H.264, MPEG4 and JPEG encoders
built into the video server generate a ready-to-view video stream. Just connect to the video server using your Web browser or the provided Windows utility to view live video.
Suitable for Home, Business or Public Facilities. Whether for Home, Business or
•
Public Facility surveillance, the Video Server has the features you need.
Multi-Protocol Support. Supporting TCP/IP networking, SMTP (E-mail), HTTP and
•
other Internet related protocols, the Video Server can be easily integrated into your existing network.
Easy Configuration. A Windows-based Wizard is provided for initial setup.
•
Subsequent administration and management can be performed using a standard web browser. The administrator can configure and manage the Video Server via the LAN or Internet.
• Viewing/Recording Utility. A user-friendly Windows utility is provided for viewing
live video. For periods when you are absent, or for scheduled recording, this application also allows you to record video on your PC. Use the Playback function of the supplied Windows utility to view the recorded files.
• 3D-Deinterlace Support.
view is moderate. It provides high quality edge preserving deinterlacing with the 4th generation motion adaptive 3D-Deinterlacing algorithm and performs proper processing for fast motion and film video sources.
• Motion Detection. This feature can detect motion in the field of view. The Video Server
will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement of large
It can provide clearer image when movement speed of the
1
objects. Motion detection alarm can be triggered via e-mail, FTP, instant messaging and/or an external alarm device.
Flexible Scheduling. You can limit access to the video stream to specified times using
•
a flexible scheduling system. The Motion Detection feature can also have its own schedule, so it is active only when required.
Syslog Support. If you have a Syslog Server, the Video Server can send its log data to
•
your Syslog Server.
Audio Support. You can listen as well as look! Audio is encoded with the video if
•
desired. You can connect an external microphone to the video server.
IP Filter. Use the IP Filter to block/accept access to the IP addresses.
•
User-definable HTTP/ HTTPS port number. This allows Internet Gateways to use
•
"port mapping" so the Video Server and a Web Server can share the same Internet IP address.
DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet
•
IP address of the gateway used by the Video Server. But if the Gateway has a dynamic IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing Gateways do not support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the Video Server.
NTP (Network-Time-Protocol) Support. NTP allows the Video Server to calibrate its
•
internal clock from an Internet Time-Server. This ensures that the time stamp on Video from the Video Server will be correct.
PoE Support. (Wired Model Only) You can use IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over
•
Ethernet) to provide power to the Video Server, so only a single cable connection is required.
Security Features
• User Authentication. If desired, access to live video can be restricted to known users.
Users will have to enter their username and password before being able to view the video stream. User authentication is not required if the Multicast feature is enabled.
Password-Protected Configuration. Configuration data can be password protected, so
•
that it only can be changed by the Video Server Administrator.
Wireless Features (Wireless Model Only)
• Supports 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n Standards. The 802.11n standa r d pr ovides
for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802 .11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
Wired and Wireless Network Support. The Video Server supports either wired or
•
wireless transmission.
WEP Support. Full WEP support (64/128 Bit) on the Wireless interface is provided.
•
WPA/WPA2 Support. The WPA Personal/WPA2 Personal standard is also supported,
•
allowing advanced encryption of wireless data.
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
•
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.

Controlling User Access to the Video Stream

By default, anyone can connect to the Video Server and view live Video at any time. If desired, you can limit access to scheduled times, and also restrict access to known users.
To Control User Access to Live Video:
1. Connect to the Web-based interface of the Video Server. (See Chapter 5 - Web-based
Management for details.)
2. Select Video Access.
3. Set the desired options for Access.
Access
Select the desired option as required:
• If the User Access is enabled, users will be prompted for a username and password when they connect to the camera for viewing video.
• When Video Access is enabled, viewing video is only available during the scheduled periods, and unavailable at other times. If this option is selected, you need to define a schedule; otherwise it is always disabled.
However, viewing video is still possible by logging in as the Administrator.
Figure 19: Controlling User Access
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details about using the Video Access and User Database screens.

Making Video available from the Internet

If your LAN is connected to the Internet, typically by a Broadband Gateway/Router and Broadband modem, you can make the Video Server available via the Internet. You will need to configure your Router or Gateway to allow connections from the Internet to the video server.
Router/Gateway Setup
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections (from Internet Viewers) to the Video Server. The Router/Gateway uses the Port Number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the Video Server.
This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers. The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP connections on port 1024 should be passed to the Video Server. If necessary, check the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.
The "Port" for the Port Forwarding / Virtual Server entry above is the " Secondary Port" number specified on the Network screen of the Video Server.
20
Video Server Setup
The Video Server configuration does NOT have be changed, unless:
• You wish to change the port number from the default value.
• You wish to use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature of the Video Server.
HTTPS Port Configuration
Normally, HTTP (Web) connections use port 80. Since the Video Server uses HTTP, but port 80 is likely to be used by a Web Server, you can use a different port for the Video Server. This port is called the Secondary Port.
The default HTTP/HTTPS Secondary Port is 1024/1025. If you prefer to use a different port number, you can specify the port number on the Video Server's Network screen, as shown below.
Figure 20: Network Screen
See Chapter 5 - Web-based Management for further details on using the Network screen.
Viewers need to know this port number in order to connect and view live Video, so you must inform viewers of the correct port number.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection. DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN using a
domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can then
apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS screen of the Video Server.
3. Both Router and Video Server should use the same port number for DDNS service.
21
Figure 21: DDNS Screen
4. Operation is then automatic:
• The Video Server will automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that
the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address.
• Internet users can then connect to the Video Ser ver using the Domain Name allocated
by the DDNS service provider. Example: HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024 mycamera.dyndns.tv is domain host name. 1024 is the port number.
22

Viewing Live Video via the Internet

Clients (viewers) will also need a broadband connection; dial-up connections are NOT recommended.
Viewing Live Video Using your Web Browser
If using your Web browser, you need to know the Internet IP address (or the Domain name) of the video server's Router/Gateway, and the correct port number.
Enter the Internet address of the Router/Gateway, and its port number, in the Address (or Location) field of your Browser.
Example - IP address:
HTTP://203.70.212.52:1024
Where the Router/Gateway's Internet IP address is 203.70.212.52 and the "Secondary Port" number on the Video Server is 1024.
Example - Domain Name:
HTTP://mycamera.dyndns.tv:1024
Where the Router/Gateway's Domain name is mycamera.dyndns.tv and the "Secondary Port" number on the Video Server is 1024.
Viewing Live Video with the Viewing/Recording Utility
If using the Windows Viewing/Recording Utility, the details of the Video Server must be entered on the Cameras screen.
Figure 22: Add video server from LAN
See Chapter 6 - Window Viewing/Recording Utility for full details on using the Windows Viewing/Recording utility.
23

Motion Detection Alerts

The Motion Detection feature can generate an Alert when motion is detected. The Video Server will compare consecutive frames to detect changes caused by the movement
of large objects. But the motion detector can also be triggered by:
• Sudden changes in the level of available light
• Movement of the camera itself.
Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely.
Note: The Motion Detection settings can only be configured while using IE browser.
To Use Motion Detection Alerts
Using the Web-based interface on the Video Server, select the Motion Detection screen, then configure this screen as described below.
Figure 23: Motion Detection
1. Enable the Motion Detection feature.
2. Set the areas of the video image to be examined for movement. You can define up to 4
areas, and set the motion threshold individually for each area.
3. If using a schedule, define the desired schedule in Event Tr igger screen.
4. Save your changes.
If the Motion Detection feature is enabled, but the related options in the Event Trigger screen are not enabled, then the only action when motion is detected is to log this event in the system log.
